From the Canton Public Library: AAUW scholarship’s impact on a Stonehill researcher

From the Canton Public Library: The Canton Chapter of the American Association of University Women invited Stonehill Professor, Tracy Rosebrock to speak about her research on CMV; a leading cause of preventable deafness in children. 

This young researcher talks too about the AAUW scholarship, life changing as women's careers are not always a straight shot, as children and family can stall a woman researcher's trajectory, making research funding difficult to get. But Rosebrock is also concerned about the ignored virus's impact because, though the medical establishment does not want to "unnecessarily worry women" because there is so little treatment, Rosebrock argues that it's also very preventable (hand washing and not to share fluids with children while pregnant) and so pregnant women need to understand this virus. 

A fascinating discussion on the science, the impact narrow standards can have on information women get, and also how the AAUW helps women researchers and Rosebrock's commitment to giving pregnant women agency through knowledge. 

This program was taped and edited by Ed McDonough for CCTV.
